Animal Crossing: Red Curse 5: Red Election

"Wow tomorrow is the election. I can't wait to go vote for the new president." Said my mom.

"I agree, it is an exciting day for America." Said my father.

"Who will you be voting for?" I asked.

"We will be voting for Red Man." They said in unison.

"Red Man? Who is Red Man?"

"Red Man is the candidate for the Red Man Party." They said. "We do not like the Democrats or the Republicans any more, we only wish for Red Man to be president. And if he wins, at midgnight tonight, he will be."

I gasped, suddenly. I remembered in the previous installment of my Animal Crossing: Red Curse saga, I had seen an image in the cursed copy of Animal Crossing that I had played. Suddenly it all made sense. The Red Man was the cursed demon who lived inside that copy of the game. Whenever someone played the game, he would manifest himself into the world. Thanks to my previous run ins with him, where he had attacked and infected me on Christmas causing me to chop off my own arm, attacked twice during Hannukah including pushing my disabled grandmother into a swimming pool, and finally he had attacked me on vacation after a rogue general had stole the catridge because he was a secret member of the KKK, I had destroyed the demons physical form but a mysterious group of masked figures had escaped with the cartidge. Now he had a serious grudge with me, and as long as that cartridge was out in the world he could re-manifest any time somebody played it. It was the final time I had played the game that I had encountered the image I was thinking of. The Red Man had hacked into the game and changed the town into something twisted. He had built a house for himself that had just looked like the White House, the home of the President of the USA, except this version was red, and it was called the Red House. Now the mysterious group had clearly unleashed the Red Man back into the world, and he was running for preisdent, just like the game was predicting. And worse, he was going to win!"

"All the polls say it will be a Red Man Party Landslide!"

"How can you like the Red Man, he's evil and he has no skin except for his lips."

"He has good policies. He wants to give every American a free Nintendo Switch and a copy of Animal Crossing."

"Noooo!" I yelled. I had to change the course of the election, I had to prove to people that the Red Man was evil and using his demonic powers to brainwash people. If I could prove that, people would choose a canidate from one of the two main political parties instead of that demonic creature. But what could I possibly do, I was only a kid, and what's more, I only had until midnight to stop him!

"Mom, Dad, I'm afraid I will not be able to attend your electon party tonight. I must go to Washington DC"

"Ok be safe." My parents said. I packed my clothes and my bag and ... just in case my Nintendo Switch. I got on a bus. It was 10 am. I didn't have long to drive to Washington DC and look around.

It was dark by the time I arrived in Washinton DC. I walked down the street, past the White House, the Washinton Monument, the National Mall, the Capitol Building, the temple with Abraham Lincoln in, the Smithsonian, and finally I got to a big old building which was called the Red Man Party Headquarters. There was a big poster of his face - that evil skinless face except for the lips looking out at me. I shuddered in horror. Suddenly a black car pooled up. I recognize it, it is the car that I saw escaping from the Resort in Hollywood. One of the evil masked men got out, but he didn't go into the building, instead he got into the alley besides the building.

Sneakily, I followed the masked figure down the alley. The stopped at a statue of George Washington and looked around. I ducked behind a trash can. He didn't see me, so he reached out and pulled on George Washinton's arm. The statue hissed and slid aside, revealing a secret entrance into the building. After a few minutes I followed him and went inside. It was a secret tunnel. I looked a the clock. It was 11pm. I only had 1 hour to go until midnight and the evil demon Red Man would become president.

At the end of the tunnel was a secret base. I sneaked down. There was a room, and the masked men were having a meeting. I listened in.

“Gentlemen. As you know our secret organisation has unleashed the Red Demon to become president. Thanks to the brainwashing device, in less than an hour the Red Man will become president. At midnight exactly, we will control the entire country for our nefarious purposes, and we will be free to do evil.”

“Not on my watch bitch.” I pulled out my gun and barged into the meeting. I shot the leader and he exploaded through the wall. I pointed the gun and the next one. “Take me to the motherfucking brainwashing machine cunt.”

“Never! We’re all fucking ready to die so Red Man can become president and enact his demonic will against the United States.”

“Hello Samoan Bitch.” I span shocked as I saw the Red Man himself – or at least this demonic incarnation of his physical form, standing in the doorway. He was wearing a suit and had a lapel pin on that said “I love the Red Man.”

“You think you can kill me and my organisation by shooting these bitches? Guess what, these fucking cunts aren’t even human, they’re robots.” He grinned and pulled off the mask of the nearest one and sure enough I saw he had a see-through plastic face which showed off computer parts. “I’ve got a million more of these bastard bitches in my lair.”

“I can still shoot you.”

“You can try.” Grinned the Red Man and he pulled off his jacket. On the inside was a jacket made of explosives and grenades. “But then you’ll only be killing yourself. Get her robots.”

The robots jumped to their feet and grabbed my gun, as I realized I had no choice.

“Take her to the balcony so she may witness my glorious victory as I become president.”

We marched up the stairs to the balcony. I saw on a clock it was now 11:30 pm and in half an hour the results would be announced. We went out and the Red Man grinned evilly.

“What a rich country, America. Or should I say bitch cunty? Either way it will be my first executive order to send out 10, million Nintendo switches to every household in America. They’ll be playing cursed copies of Animal Crossings before the day is over – and I’ll have an army of 10 million of me.”

“Wait, you don’t have to do this, we can make a deal.”

“A deal what do you mean?”

“I challenge you.”

“Ok Kacey Bones, the Samoan ‘hero’, I’ll accept your challenge. If you can beat me at Animal Crossing before the night is up, I will call off my evil scheme, and set your family free.”

“I accept. Give me the fucking Switch.”

“Bring us two fucking switches.” He instructed.

The switches arrived. He handed my switch to me and we loaded up animal crossing.

“Ok it is 11:39pm. At exactly 11:59pm we will see who of us will have the most coins. If you win I will call of my presidential race – one minute before midnight.”

“Less talking more crossing, bitch.”

The robot nearest by took out a stop watch, and counted down.

“3 …. 2 … 1… START!”

We both intensely began to play Animal Crossing. For the next 20 minutes we both intensely ran down the clock carrying out activities to earn those precious bells that the entire economy of animal crossing relied up. I was stressed out. The entire future of America, of even the entire world, depended on this. Only by defeating this evil demonic man could we be safe.

Finally the clock ticked down. I quickly ran to the bank to deposit my final bells with Tom Nook just as the robot called out:

“TIMES UP! Put down the Switches.”

“Hah. So Kacey Bitch, how many coins did you get?”

“No way cunt you will reveal it first.”

“Fine bitch. I got over 10,000 coins. To be exact I got 13,56 – fucking 5 coins.”

“That’s nothing kid. I got over a million coins.”

“What?! That’s impossible! Show me that!” The Red Man grabbed the switch from me, but he saw it was true. In 20 minutes I had got 11,345,701 coins. Wow, I even impressed myself. I’d beaten that bitch easily.

“Noooo! It’s impossible! I won’t do it, I’m still going to become president.” The Red Man grinned evily and took out the knife. “But before I’ll start by killing you!”

Outside I heard people counting down until the end of the election.

“10, 9, 8, 7 –“

Fortunately, I wasn’t that easily fooled. I pulled out my hidden gun, and shot the knife out of the Red Mans hand. It flew up into the air, then stabbed back down into his chest. Then he stumbled back and fell off the balcony.

“6, 5, 4, 3 –“

Suddenly, all the polls changed. Without the brainwashing techniques of the Red Man affecting everyone, everyone changed their votes. One of the two normal parties won instead. The robots died. Over the sky of the capital fireworks went off.

“2, 1, 0”…

Everyone cheers. I ran out of the building just as the police swooped in to arrest the remaining members of the group. Once again I had saved the day – but then I remembered. The cartridge which was the key to this whole mystery. It was still inside. I wondered whose hands it could fall into now. I didn’t know. But I only hoped that for one, this curse might leave me alone. I pulled up my hoodie, and snuck away into the shadows of the DC night. For somehow, deep down, I knew this curse would continue.
